My Canadian family . . . We don’t see each other or speak often enough but you are all always in my heart.
Brandy . . . For listening to me through it all and being a true girlfriend. Plus, you always make me look beautiful when sometimes I don’t feel it.
Ruthanne . . . My personal crusader! Without your belief in me I wouldn’t be where I am today professionally and emotionally.

Gueran . . . You constantly inspire me to be more than I ever thought possible for myself. You’ve helped build this dream. Where some talk, you make happen.

Jamie . . . My strength! Making me always feel I’m worth it. And then getting it for me.
Meghan and Jill . . . The press builds us up to knock us down and you are both there to catch me. Your personal investment in my family is amazing. I always feel safe with you and loved. Thank you for always going to bat for me.
Randy and Fenton . . . My partners and friends. We’ve created a wonderful life and business together. I’m WOWED by how lucky I am to have you and your constant support. You make me dream Bigger.
Our T&D family/crew . . . What started as a business turned into the family we’ve created. I don’t believe in coincidences. And I know each and every one of you is meant to be with me on this journey. You’ve all been loyal to no end and I love you and deeply value our relationships.
Oxygen . . . Thank you for giving our family a second home! For continuing to believe in me, my dreams, and all my business ventures.
Megan . . . Story brought us together but fate brought our lives so much more. You have been my strength this past year when I sometimes felt I had none. You know how much you mean to me. Thank you for sharing, being, and growing with me.
Gary and Eleanor . . . For always trusting my goals. For supporting me and believing I’ll attain them.
Patrick Price . . . My Editorial Husband. Without you this process wouldn’t be as fun or seamless. Thanks for getting me. You are my written ROCK.

Michael Nagin . . . For your vision and charm and letting my type A personality micromanage details.
Mike Rosenthal . . . For always understanding I have my side, angle, and pose and for taking unbelievably beautiful pictures. We make good covers!
Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster . . . For continuing to give my voice a home base. You believe in me and I look forward to creating more bestsellers together!
Hilary . . . My visionary partner in the written word. For always getting me, being the voice of reason, and sometime therapist. Let’s write our happy ending.

Isabel . . . For always looking out for me and my family. For loving us and knowing me so well. You have been my constant through all these years. And for loving the doggies so much.

Coco and Susana . . . Thank you for your love, care, and loyalty.
Cheyenne . . . You are such a positive in my life and was always there to listen when I couldn’t find answers. Thank you.
My dog babies . . . I may have rescued each of you, but you’ve rescued me in so many ways. I love you. And thank you, Much Love Animal Rescue (muchlove.org), for giving my animal rescue work a home.
My Twitter followers . . . For always believing in me and supporting me and for giving me a family to reach out to day or night.
Love, Tori xoxo
